I am having some bloody brownish discharge vaginally. nothing shows up in the toilet, but the urine looks cloudy. I just finished a round of Cipro for a UTI.

Brief Answer:
not likely STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
This is not likely to be STD especially not after so many years. It may be atrophy of vaginal wall or vaginitis caused by other bacterias. Also uroinfectio may increase risk of vaginitis. YOu should see gynecologist anyway and then topical agents or hormonal therapy may be considered.
Wish you good health. Regards
